Review: Baby Pink BB Pressed Powder

Since I last reviewed the Baby Pink BB Mineral Cream, I decided to also review a counterpart product I got at the same time which is the Baby Pink BB Pressed Powder.

The packaging is similar to the BB cream and uses the same, cute design and color scheme. Unlike the BB cream though, this one offers 5 benefits and is supposed to be a makeup base, concealer, foundation, finishing powder, and has UV protection. SPF 20 PA++ of protection, to be exact. I'm not quite sure how this powder will act as a 'makeup base' though because well...it's a powder, and I've never heard of a pressed powder being used under makeup.

Anyway, the powder contains witch hazel and grapefruit extracts that are supposed to tighten skin, collagen and Lipidure to moisturize, and hyaluronic-acid-coated powder to keep your skin hydrated. Its micro-fine powder formulation also has a light-diffusing effect that fills in pores to blur imperfections and give you a smooth, baby-like complexion (product info from ratzillacosme).

The compact is equally cute and tiny! It's not only small enough to slip into your makeup kit, but even your pocket. It definitely looks like the perfect powder to bring along for touch-ups.

Review: Eyelash Clip (Daiso Japan)

As much as I'd like to, I don't wear false lashes on a daily basis, simply because I either don't have the time or I'm just too lazy to even bother putting them on. I also have very deep set and 'curved' eyes, so though I'm quite experienced with putting on lashes, it's still a pain sometimes to do because even with a good quality glue, the lashes initially have a hard time conforming to my eye's shape no matter how much I press down.

Like many, I would use a handy pair of ordinary tweezers to put the lashes on. They help me see what I'm doing better without my fingers being in the way. But then I stumbled upon this little tool from Saizen recently...

Unable to read Japanese, I can't tell you much other than the fact that it's what's called an eyelash clip that's supposed to help you both grip and apply your false lashes easier, and it's produced by the familiar Daiso Japan brand.

Now a tool like this is nothing new. I've seen false eyelash brands like Ardell and DUO even include a free eyelash clip with some of their lashes. They only really differ in terms of design and brand, but the purpose and concept remains the same.

The illustration on the packaging already gives you a better idea on how to use it if you're not sure.
